And then when the elevator door opens, they ask the people inside: "Are you going up or down?" There's an arrow showing that, for Christ's sake.
So you're saying that the non-profit (OpenAI Foundation) owns a certain percentage of the for-profit (OpenAI Corporation)?
We live in a society. Worker rights are a thing. Human rights are a thing. This should not be allowed.
I sometimes wonder about the similarities between this paradigm switch (coding -> vibe coding) and when the industry switched from writing assembler to using high-level languages. I both cases we switched from having to specify every posibble implementation detail to focusing more on higher level concepts and letting the machine work out the rest. Maybe in the future instead of sharing source code, we will share prompts that we used to create a program. Similarly how different compilers produce different assembly now, "compiling" prompts with different agent/model would give different results. Maybe in the future an analog for "optimizing compiler" would emerge for agents, which would turn the (working) slop into something more clean.
